Note to defenders of the indefensible: This is meant as a rebuttal to BBC reporting on US issues. I don’t pretend I’m making some lofty, impartial report, but I am presenting facts and information about these issues you don’t get from the BBC. My opinions may be clear, but I’m also not playing games about it. Everyone can decide for themselves what to think about all of it, and call me out on stuff I get wrong.

Thanks, john, much appreciated considering our recent disagreement over the Mohammedan rape gang issue. More proof that this blog isn’t the single-minded echo chamber defenders of the indefensible claim it is.

Very interesting report. I have heard zilch about the federalist vs. statist dialogue from the BBC, nor have I heard anything of Obama’s stance on it. Funny how such a massive deal was make out of diddly-squat, and how this issue was used as a “righteous baton” to strike the ultra-conservative evangelical homophobe, Romney (I kid).

I doubt you will hear much about federalism from the BBC, it parallels the UK v. EU directorate issue which the BBC would not report if they could avoid it. Since federalism happens in the US the BBC can avoid reporting it so they do. With the EU the BBC is limited to mild sneering as yokels directed at those ratepayers who are under the misapprehension that Brussels is not the capital of Britain.

Anything further re “Fast and Furious”? over there David?
Reason I ask is that the BBC told me last night that 49…yes 49… mutilated bodies were found dumped outside Monterrey, Mexico.
Decapitated and with hands cut off by all accounts.
Managed to slip it in between the football and some puff piece about the Olympic torch arriving here on Friday.
Maybe if we enable Brand and Macca to light their spliffs from it, the BBC might bother their arses with what the drugs lobbys approach to legalisation ends up as.

The latest news on F&F, besides the new book out that DB mentioned, is that Rep. Issa (nasty Republican), chairman of the House Oversight Committee has drafted a resolution to hold Atty. Gen. Eric Holder in contempt of Congress (has the same legal implications as contempt of court, more or less) for his, shall we say, less than forthcoming testimony regarding this scandal.

The BBC is going to continue to censor all news of this until their fellow travelers in the US media start making it a top story. I posted the link to Politico to show that it’s not just something the shrill extremists at Fox News have up their ass, but that in fact the Beeboids definitely know about it, and it’s a deliberate editorial decision to censor this story.
